Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Likely first illustrated edition of one of the most significant works of religious English literature. Small octavo, early half sheep over marbled boards, three frontispieces, illustrated with eleven nearly full-page woodcuts, publisher's error jump in page number from p. 324 to p. 343. In good condition with rubbing to the extremities and loss to the sheep binding, hand-printed paper label replacing spine label, small ownership tag to the front pastedown, some toning throughout, old tape repairs (versos of frontispiece and title page, page 12, page 83), closed tear to the front flyleaf, some loss to the first frontispiece woodcut which has been removed from the original frontispiece leaf and adhered on one of the front flyleaves with a border drawn in ink, likely an antiquarian repair.

It has been translated into more than 200 languages, and has never been out of print. It appeared in Dutch in 1681, in German in 1703 and in Swedish in 1727.

It was at first fashionable to sneer at Bunyan as a writer, but the approval of such as Swift, Johnson and Walpole marked a change. Now it is universally known and loved, and the parable of salvation is accepted by all denominations” (PMM 156). It has also been cited as the first novel written in English.…
